Swim Consistently in 2016

I want to swim more consistently. And after viewing coach Gerry Rodrigues giving a clinique on "How to become a better triathlete swimmer", it reinforced my beliefs in CONSISTENCY. I have not been perfect in 2015 but I surpassed my expectations. Starting 2015, I could not believe I would swim 1500m continuously without wetsuit. Which I did in Magog doing my first Olympic distance triathlon. Starting 2016, I am planning on swimming consistently day in day out, week in week out.

This year, I will become an open-water swimmer. I will be working out at the pool. Some sessions will be ugly but that is part of the process: it is not a straight line to improvement. I will have bad workouts. I can accept that. I will admit when they happen. BUT I will also be back at the pool trying again to become a better swimmer. I will not swim to accumulate mileage, I will swim to be better than the previous session.

If, like me, you struggle with your swimming (compared to biking and running), do yourself a favor ;

1. Get a pen and some paper
2. Sit comfortably without any distraction
3. Launch this video series
